00728 A flower blooming in blood. ————————————————– ———————-=
In the eastern sky, where the darkness had become lighter, a dusky dawn was already emerging. The sun slowly rose as if watching, spreading faint sunlight, and the bushes bathed in sunlight also quietly raised their heads. The morning scenery of the blue mountains that I carefully approached was calm and beautiful.
Let’s go!
Let’s go!
As the light gradually spreads across the mountain range, a strange noise suddenly comes. Did I hear a sound? In the mountains, a man who was sitting on her bushes and nodding off her head made her flinch.
It was hard to see because he was wearing a robe, but the sparse beard and dirty marks on his exposed jaw line showed that he hadn’t washed for several days.
Eventually, the man yawned, slowly turning his sleepy eyes from side to side. Rather than looking for something, it just seemed like a reflex action out of her familiarity.
Let’s go!
Let’s go!
But at that moment, the man’s slowly spinning head suddenly stopped. The sleepiness disappears from her eyes, and a strange sense of tension begins to appear in her. The man quietly grabbed her hood and pulled it back, as if she might make a sound, and stared straight ahead at her with a cautious expression. Her face immediately became stiff.
Suddenly, the bushes far away are shaking rapidly. Something dark, hardly a human being, is approaching at a very fast pace. It runs at tremendous speed, cutting through the thick bushes in a straight line, as if it was going to pounce on the man and push him down.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
And the sound of magical energy ringing. It was the sound of a pre-installed magic jinn warning that someone had broken in. Vibrations were coming from all directions.
“It’s an intrusion! “It’s an invasion!”
“What a pair!”
It was almost at the same time that I woke up to the man’s cries and the vagabonds in the cave swearing.
“What an intrusion! “What the hell happened?”
“A report has come in from the security guard! “It’s not a killing squad, it’s a monster attack!”
Someone shouted in a hurry, and the hairy man with a thick belly frowned.
“Yanjiang, monster attack? “That sucks!”
Even though I said it wasn’t a killer group, it was definitely not something I would like. Most of the monsters that appear in the Blue Mountains have the habit of moving around in groups. To put it bluntly, on the day when an army of death knights and lichs or a group of banshees attack, the situation will be as shit as the man said.
However, despite the surprise situation, unexpectedly, there was no chaos inside the cave. All personnel are moving quickly and preparing to leave the cave. It was a very quick response. It even seemed familiar, as if he had experienced this situation several times.
“Which side is it coming from?”
“They’re coming from the north!”
Eventually, the vagabonds, numbering about 200, left the cave and started moving south. There is an iron rule that vagabonds run in all directions when running away from a killing team. However, there was no need to do so when the monster attacked. Since the monster’s attack is likely to be accidental, all you have to do is get out of the area as quickly as possible.
That’s what the tramp was thinking when he entered the escape route he had planned out in advance.
However, the first time I felt strange was when I saw about 15 users lined up in a large formation on the escape route they were supposed to take. And that too, as if he had been waiting.
An unusual murmur arose among the group of vagabonds who reflexively stopped running. And Lee Kang-san, the ‘traitor’ who was running away at the forefront, frowned. The experience of being a vagabond for so long was instinctively sounding an alarm. I don’t know the details yet, but the thought that something happened to me crossed my mind.
And, above all.
“Wow, crazy… .”
“Uh, that… . “Aren’t you a Mercenary?”
Slowly, startled sounds began to emerge. The red symbols drawn on the chests of users blocking the road were confirmed. sword and shield. No need to look twice. The most notorious Mercenary Killing Team appeared before the vagabonds.
As the commotion became more severe, Lee Kang-san raised his huge sword and attacked.
“Damn it, wake up! “At most, there are only about fifteen people!”
It was definitely not wrong. The mercenary killing team consisted of 14 people. In contrast, there are about 200 vagabonds. Moreover, it can be said to be an elite group, including some executive-level vagabonds. They are talented people who have survived the endless struggle.
As if Lee Kang-san’s shouting seemed like something worth trying, one by one, the wanderers came to their senses and took out their weapons and pointed them forward. It was a sight that showed that the level of vagrants was higher than that of outlaws. Even when faced with a surprise situation, they do not panic and know what to do.
Although he managed to calm things down, Lee Kang-san still couldn’t erase his anxiety. no. When she saw the woman standing in the center of the crane wing, she felt even more amplified.
Lee Kang-san knows who that woman is. ‘After the Sword’ Nam Da-eun. She had been leisurely glaring at her bums from earlier with a cold smile on her lips. As if she was mocking.
There is no more time to delay. Monsters are still coming from behind. In the current situation, the best case scenario is for users, vagabonds, and monsters to fight together. If you take advantage of that gap, your chances of secretly escaping will increase dramatically.
Thinking so, Lee Kang-san aimed the tip of his sword at the front and screamed. Starting with that sound, the tramps also started running away, shouting.
However, do the vagabonds really know?
Now, the group of monsters running from behind are not the Blue Mountains, but an army of demonic beasts summoned by Vivien.
The fact that they are currently completely surrounded from front to back.
And before I knew it, dark smoke began to flow beneath my feet.
“come! Pierre! “You crazy flaming jester who rules the 4th Legion!”
Soon, a sonorous voice that did not suit the situation rang out everywhere.
After a while.
– Hehehehe, hehehehe!
– Hee hee hee, hee hee hee!
Starting with a strange noise, an untimely hunting season has arrived in the Blue Mountains.
*
Annihilate the vagrant!
Succeeded in wiping out a large number of vagabonds from the Mercenary Clan. In addition, they succeeded in capturing dozens of major vagabonds prisoner without a single casualty.
The rumor spread quickly. It has to be that way. Recently, in the midst of a relatively peaceful time, a major incident suddenly occurred. How can we handle it without spreading like wildfire? Especially when it comes to news related to vagabonds. In this way, the rumor spread beyond the northern continent and all the way to Atlanta.
Naturally, the response from users was explosive. They were so happy that on the day the killing team returned to Atlanta, the area near the warp gate was crowded with people. Because everyone was clamoring to see if they had really caught the group of vagabonds. And when they saw the group of dozens of vagabonds with their entire bodies tightly packed, loud cheers erupted in the city.
People who clap their hands because they look good, people who swear at them as if they saw an enemy, people who are relieved that they can now move around with peace of mind, people who make a fuss because they can’t trust them, etc. There were truly diverse reactions.
Of course, this alone does not mean that the vicious cycle that has continued so far has been completely broken. The vagabond may be hiding somewhere, or there is a possibility that he may be mixed in among the users. In other words, it could be said that it was not completely eradicated.
Still, it’s amazing. There has never been a case where so many leaders were captured at once. The fact that all major executives, including the ‘traitor’ Lee Kang-san, were captured was truly an incredible achievement. If we had been cutting off limbs one by one through various plans, this time it would be more appropriate to say that we smashed the head. Now it was only a matter of time before weeding out the remaining vagabonds.
So, the city was suddenly in a festive mood. After handing over the vagrant to the central management organization, Cheoksal Group returned to the castle, going through the crowd of users chanting Mercenary. Since I was already receiving continuous calls, I decided to wait in the conference room on the first floor.
After a while.
The 14 clan members all walked in with confident steps. All the clan members lined up to my left and right, waiting with me, applauded. Even Ko Yeon-ju was clapping his hands with a big smile on his face. That’s how great this achievement was.
Eventually, Woo Jeong-min stopped in the center of the conference room and slightly lowered his head.
“User Woo Jeong-min and 13 others successfully completed their mission and returned.”
“I have already been contacted. Thank you all for your hard work.”
I responded right away and glanced at the assassination team. Nam Da-eun, Woo Jeong-min, Seon Yu-un, Jin Su-hyeon. The faces of the four people looked much brighter than before. Who said revenge only leaves regrets? I’m standing here intoxicated with that sweet look.
For me, I can’t help but feel good in many ways. Due to this incident, the reputation of the assassination group, including Woo Jung-min, rose significantly.
Of course, my name is not there. In other words, it proved that Mercenary can achieve this level of performance even without me. Although it was limited to individuals, the fact that users I knew were gradually finding their first look was definitely good news.
“I just got lucky.”
Woo Jung-min glanced at me humbly in response to the successive congratulations. Of course, this time, an unexpected variable called Ha Seung-woo intervened. Strictly speaking, I feel like I accepted it to some extent. But even taking that into account, the results remain unchanged. Although he prepared the table, he wasn’t able to eat well either.
One way or another, Cheoksal Team started off very well. I took risks and brought about drastic changes, and I was confident that the storm-like winds of change would gradually subside with this success.
After the congratulations were over, I announced the reward for the success of the mission in front of everyone. Clan members below grade C were given unconditional grade 1 special promotions, and clan members above grade B were given satisfactory performance.
It felt a bit unconventional, but no one expressed any disagreement. This is because the value of the success of this mission was so great. It was a much more valuable result than completing 30 or 40 missions.
and.
The day after the vagrant case was dealt with, Ahn Hyun, who had been worried, returned after successfully completing his mission.
A small change came to me too. To be more precise, there was a slight change in the user information of the children who started the rite of passage with me.
Annual leave has increased. Before I knew it, I had gone from being a 3-year user to becoming a 4-year user.
For me, it was actually my 14th year.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
Now we must gradually enter a period of stability. Of course, we have to overcome one big mountain before that. Our Lee Yu-jeong, who is loved more than expected, must be going through hardships. ha ha ha.
And sometimes some people misunderstand, but I don’t hate Lee Yu-jeong. I rather like it. Really. 🙂
Lee Yoo-jeong: Then, let me behave appropriately, right?
Ro Yu-jin: Sorry.
Yujeong Lee: What are you sorry about?
Ro Yu-jin: You have to roll three more times.
Exactly 3 times. yes. To the very abyss… . Still, if you endure this hardship well, Lee Yu-do will become a more mature user. Actually, I want to draw a mature Lee Yu-jeong quickly. Oh, that’s good. Red hair, red eyes, pretty face, s*xy body. Ugh(?)
And even though Lee Yoo-jung is suffering like this now, she plans to make everyone take revenge on Kim Soo-hyun in the future. ah. How do you get revenge? For example, under the desk in the office or on the terrace… . huh? Oh, no. Hmm.
